When I was younger I would get sick a lot and never knew why. My parents just took it as me having a weak immune system and I did the same because I was overweight for my age.

One week I stayed home from school because I had a fever and a headache that wouldn’t go away. I couldn’t eat or sleep so I stayed in my room watching various VHS tapes all day. After a couple days I got fed up with not being able to sleep properly so I decided to take sleeping medicine. I turned on my lamp and I kept it on because I’m scared to sleep in the dark(still to this day at the age of 26). I had Tom and jerry on and while I was watching I could fe the sensation of being sleepy. It felt good, I felt accomplished. Finally a nice night of sleep.

What was weird tho was my body felt odd. My entire body felt as if someone rubbed icy hot on every inch of me. I chose to ignore it because I just wanted sleep so bad. I could feel myself drifting off into slumber...suddenly I felt my right leg going up like I was raising it myself but I wasn’t. I started feeling scared, but the sleepiness was so overpowering and so tempting I chose to ignore my leg.

Suddenly I feel someone pull my arm. It was like a kid pulling you to play with them. When I look, it looked like a really young, pale girl standing next to my bed. We met eyes and stared at each other for a few seconds and I started to cry from being so scared. I turned away to grab the remote to throw at her but when I turned around she was gone, and with her all the pain from my body. The fever was gone. No more headache, and my body didn’t feel like I had icy hot everywhere.

Every time I tell someone this story they tell me it’s sleep paralysis, but why did my sicknes leave with the vision I saw ?

It could have been a dream representing you feeling better. I had a dream once where my foot was burning because the floor was so hot but actually it's because my foot was on the radiator to the side of my bed.

Similarly I used to always get dreams where my tongue would seize up, and force my bottom row of teeth out of my gums. These dreams were very painful and very bloody. As it turns out, I was grinding my teeth, and my front teeth were pushing and pulling on my bottom row of teeth while I slept. A night guard fixed that issue very quickly.

I had a similar, albeit far less creepy experience, where I had a bad fever when I was younger and on the worst night of my fever, I hallucinated I was in a doctors room with a bunch of operating lights surrounding me, as thought I was going in for a surgery. It wasn’t creepy at all tbh and the fever began subsiding the following day.

She was causing your disease and with sleeping medicine you were finally relaxed enough to be connected where she saw your reaction in your eyes that said “no more I’m so done please just let me sleep in peace”

That’s just me having fun with my imagination. Could’ve been sleep paralysis and your sickness just happened to go away once your body started to actually get sleepy and work on fighting the sickness. Idk nothing but speculation on my part

So one time on my last deployment I took way too much sleep medicine for uh... purposes. And I definitely experienced that icy hot feeling and I felt like I had almost no control over my limbs.
And I definitely experienced some dread and deep fear but it was more along the lines of oh fuck I’m going to get caught tripping balls and my career is over. There were some hallucinations but not quite anything realistic.

One side effect of a lot of sleep medications is hallucinations. People, for fun, actually take over the counter stuff like unisom and try to stay awake as long as possible because just being tired makes you hallucinate.

I take sleeping pills sometimes and I have very mild visual hallucinations, nothing as crazy as what you described, usually I just see shadows but it can also make me really paranoid and I just feel creeped out.
